Relates to protest procedures

This bill requires state agencies and public authorities to establish written procedures for handling protests against contract awards. It defines key terms such as "bidder," "interested party," and "protest" to clarify who can challenge a decision and what constitutes a valid challenge. Under the new rules, agencies must provide clear instructions on how to submit a protest, set a deadline of ten business days after the award notice or five days after a debriefing, outline how disputes will be resolved, and keep records of these protests. The law applies to all state agencies and corporations, ensuring that anyone harmed by a procurement process has a standardized way to seek review.
